The right arrow button (under the numeric button) has completely died on me - it was being a bit stubborn, having to press kinda hard before but now its completely unresponsive - which sucks because I can't do anything on it now really.

What are my options? MPC is nearly 2 years old (bought new) and I have good electronics experience. If its not under warranty anymore and would cost me like £100+ to replace a bluddy button, I'd much rather do it myself

It's a good idea to get comfortable replacing these things. They'll all go eventually, but you can make that bad boy last forever if you learn to swap the tact switches for new ones. You can also buy them in bulk on ebay so you have them when you need them. It's not that hard, but you will need a soldering iron.
